I suppose it’s a pretty good gamble for $10, considering. I’m kind of surprised they’re not advertising it as 16 months of Paramout+ though as a launch discount. Why promote the service you’re discontinuing?
Edit: Although looking at it, calling it a “promotion” is probably incorrect - more of a backdoor side benefit.
Yeah, I haven’t been able to figure out exactly what Sportsline is from the website, but it seems like a legal gambling site. So I think they plan to make money off people through that gambling maybe.
Yeah, Sportsline is a total unknown to me, which makes me pretty hesitant to give them any info.
Wow, this rocks. Setup was a charm. I can finally catch up on all the various Star Trek stuff.
Thinking of switching to Sling TV (Blue - 3 devices), anyone use it?
When it says $35 a month, is that the final price or are there taxes and misc other fees?
Currently paying $86 a month for Dish Network and 3 receivers.
Lucky right now if I have time for more than 10hrs of tv a month.

There’s tax, no additional fees on top of that. I’ve subscribed a couple of times; the most recent was in November to try and watch college football. It was mostly fine? I’m not big on the interface and there were a couple times that it lagged out (hardwired to the TV) through the Roku app or forgot where I was in a program if I stopped watching part-way through.
Their DVR service was horribly unusable at the time - only 10 hours unless you ponied up for additional storage. They’ve upped it to 50 hours as of this Wednesday. It’s tied to a price hike of $5/mo so effectively you’re getting the paid upgrade included for free now. Decent of them if they had to increase the price due to their broadcast costs.
For $35 I’d say try it out for a month and see what you think. I assume you’ve done your research and landed on Sling Blue because it best fits your needs. If not, take a look at something like Philo. It’s got a nice spread of channels for $20/mo. Even with the price hike YouTube TV is the best streaming service, but at $65/mo it’s not much less than you’re paying for Dish.
Yeah the Sling Blue pack has all the channels I wanted and I can tack on Hallmark’s channels for $6 extra, still keeping my bill under $50 with taxes I am guessing. Never heard of Philo, will do more research.
Hmm seems I will lose the weather channel on just about every package I am coming across. Gonna miss my highway winter tow/recovery shows. :|
FuboTV looks like it’s too expensive. Check out the link though, there’s a service called frndly that’s fairly cheap, and it has weather channel and hallmark channel and some others. Maybe Sling Blue + frndly is your best option?
Yeah that might way to go.
Decided to get a new 4k fire stick, as I am still on a Gen2 device that is a bit slow. Should be here sunday.
Aw man, there was going to be a Star Fox show? That could have been rad.
As per the post I’m replying to, it looks like TVision (the Live TV service from T-mobile) is still the same price as when it launched. So $40 a month is not a bad price. Australian Open starts in less than 2 weeks, I think I might try out TVision this time. After that the only one left to try will be FuboTV, which I still haven’t tried out.
Edit: Huh, nevermind, I can’t find any way to sign up for the service. I guess it’s for T-mobile users only.
I’m thinking about trying HBOMax for the first time, any deals I should be aware of?

They have the prepay 6 month thing and save 20% through the end of the month I believe. It seemed simple enough to spend my theater ticket money for some movies.
That’s easy enough then, thanks! And yes, looking at it as a replacement for going to the movies is a good way to justify dropping a few bucks on it. Goodness knows, a person has to find entertainment where they can these days!
Okay, that is exceedingly strange.
Heh. Yeah, nothing on that service appeals to me. But it seemed perfect for what @lordkosc was asking for. Lordkosc, did you end up trying frndly?
